what is there to look at
a green and orange
bush as I walk by
if not that
I slow down
my steps a little to
perceive a small moving
a hovering when I focus
on the orange flowers
the impermanence of color
I notice a bee working on
one all around and within
almost each flower has
a bee loving on them
acrobatic poses and kissing
caresses and taking away
.

Anna, I believe you are into that buddhist ting?

LOL what “ting”?

the ting that goes dong when you see the light, when you get the meaning of the sound of one hand which is exactly what you have written about; that magic which exists in the little tings in life
